Pink Squirrel Pie

History

Bryant Sharp invented the Pink Squirrel in 1941 at Bryant’s Cocktail Lounge in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. According to the traditional formula, the cream was used instead of cream, and the Pink Squirrel may have started out as a smoothie loaded with spirit before Prohibition.

Bryant’s second owner, Pat Malmberg, eliminated the crème of chocolate out from traditional formula in the 1960s, deeming it unneeded, so this is how Bryant’s Pink Squirrels are made even now.
